Ah yes, that really old law. We have one in the UK like that, it says something like you can shoot a Scotsman in York on sight, but only with a bow and arrow or after midnight or something
But it’s not enforced because it’s an old law and, well, WE’RE NOT FUCKING STUPID 😂
Since it’s still on the books, could that be used as a legal defense? (Just curious, I’m neither in the UK nor wish to kill anyone with a bow and arrow after midnight)
Common law is based on precedent more than written law (code law), so the fact that no scottsman has been killed in over 100 years and used this law as a defence is proof enough that it isn’t valid legislation.
No, you couldn’t use it as a valid legal defense. There are a lot of old laws like this in the UK that, while technically on the books, have been replaced by more recent legislation.
It’s “murican” for the right to bear arms. Namely referring to the Second Amendment of the US Constitution.
Somebody probably has shot it knowing this country.

We can all be morons together. separately if you don’t want to risk stray bullets from this side.

No, common law is set in precident and there’s no legal precident for it currently.
Isn’t it always “after midnight”?
You’re advocating to disregard any constitution that’s too old?
